@encthenet this is creating quite the Streisand effect too. Now so many people are going to know how to pirate books from Library Genesis / Annas Archive because people won't shut up about it

@feld @encthenet I don't understand, are the people against AI scraping also against Anna's Archive/Scihub?

The ai companies keep arguing that the law needs to change, but that's like a burglar arguing that the prison sentences are too long, because if they steal 1000s of items, They'll go away to prison for the rest of their life.We need to keep these damages because we need to reign in corporate exploitation.> https://mastodon.social/users/Richard_Littler/statuses/115101118350063381

@lain @encthenet @feld It seems to me the solution to the problem of AI scraping is for one person to scrape websites and then provide it on bittorrent so it doesnt' ddos small sites

@sun @encthenet @feld yeah, i don't doubt it's real, but even then, the annoying part must be noobs who don't yet know how to do it without annoying people. if they survive, they'll stop annoying people.
